Good In vestments.

The attention of the readers
of THE DAILY REPUBLICAN is
called to the advisability of TAX
ing advantage of the offer made
by Ford & Oglc, on July 9, to-
buy LOT on installments. There
are numerous reasons why new
beginners, especially, shouldbuy
lot. Among them are the fol-
lowing: Take SI5oand deposit
it in savings bank; ten years
interest compounded at 5 per
cent, which is the highest in
crest you can get, will amount
to about S23o. A lot you can
buy to-day for 81, sS, 50 and
$40 per foot, in ten years will
surely net you from SIS to $50
per foot, and this assertion is
more than justified. For in
stance, seven years ago, lots
could be bought west of Broome
street to Woodland avenue, on
Front street, at SIopcr foot; to-
day you could not buy it for less
than S25 per foot, and some not
at that. Ten years ago lots or
Second, Third and Fourth
streets, west of Jackson street tc
Broome street could be bough
for $40 per foot, now it ranges
all the way from SIS to $40 pc
! foot. Again, look around wher'
you are employed and pick ou
!. the men who always earnc'
> small wages and have accumu
i lated money, and you will fn'
e that it is due in ninety-nine case
4 out of 100 that they bought lot
't before localities were built VI
10 You may think it is a lifctim

er map, published with the build

streets and Maryland avcnu
and Delaware avenue was nc

de Sixth street and Union stree
1o ,n and Grcenhill avenue is now,

,n' have to begin with SI5e to a.
ats quirc these advantages; yo
te, !s., only need $40. If there we
led 10000 houses built during Il
are time your SI5o is in the ban
be the result is the same S23o
in the end Of ten years. On t
sO' 10 other hand, if fifty houses we
built in close proximity to yo
,,t. lot, it would positively increa

A Youthful Lion-Slayer.

1.-The nerviest deed | have heard of
for long while was performed few
weeks ago by little bit of boy in
Washington Territory" said Leroy
Pratt, the commercial traveller, re-
Gently, to San Francisco Examiner
reporter.
I'm rude stage, over the rough
mountain road from North Yakim alto
Ellensburg, in February last, and a
lot of others were travelling. The
snow was very deep and it was pretty
cold. We had got within about mile
of Ellensburg, which is the initial
trading point in the Kittitas Valley,
when we saw at the roadside next to a
low marsh monster wild animal sus-
pended partly to a bent willow tree,
the other part resting on the ground.
The shin had been freshly taken off.
''Men, boys and even women were
standing in groups, discussing some
thing eagerly. Down the principal
street was bigger crowd advancing
toward us, headed by two little boys
dragging something over the snow.
''lt proved to be the hide of our big
wild animal "a genuine California
lion, and what do you suppose it
measured? Nine feet from tip to tip.
The oldest one of these boys, mark
you, was only 9, and the other younger.
They had gone out hunting along the
river and in the swamp for jack
rabbits. They killed several, and at
length, coming out to the roadside,
were appalled, to see the lion standing
there looking at them, and preparing
by his threatening gestures to come
forward and attack them. Without
seconds hesitation Johnny Singleton,
who carried the only gun, let fly a
charge of shot at him. He hit him
plumb in the head; then he let go the
other barrel, and killed him deader
than nit right there in his tracks"

WeeVils in Grain.

Numerous remedies have been tested
and recommended for weevils in grain
bins. Once the weevils are in the grain
as certain a remedy as any is probably
bisulphide of carbon introduced into the
bin, which is then covered to confine the
vapor. An objection urged by some
against the use of bisulphide of carbon Is
that the vapor arising from it is very ex-
plosive, and therefore careful handling is
required. Aniseseed is one of the old
remedies. This is placed near an infested
bin and is said to attract the weevils, and
these can then be destroyed. Millers re-
sort sometimes to kiln drying to destroy
the weevils.
In this as in many other cases the best
remedy is preventive. When possible
avoid storing grain in bins that have been
infested. When it is not practicable to
change the place of storage fumigate the
granary with burning sulphur Fumiga-
tion should not only be done before the
grain is placed in the bins, but repeated
in the course Of month or two after it
has been stored. An abundance of light,
with thorough cleanliness in the mill, will
be found beneficial. Millers advise white
washing the grain bins inside and out, and
washing the floors occasionally with hot
water. Expose the wheat to the light by
frequently stirring 1t or pouring from one
bin into another; this will also prevent its
becoming heated. The weevil is adverse
to light and air, hence the advice to fire.
quently expose it to the light with ample
ventilation.

They Come in Clonds.

"You never heard of q fy storm,
| did you?" an old house painter asked
of New York Sun reporter.
The reporter hadn't.
well, / reckon it will be a new
thing for most people to hear of. but
one comes nearly every year in June
and lasts a week. This part of the
country was stocked with flies. I've
studied fly storms for forty wears. It's
mighty hard to tell when one is COM
ing. On general principles YOU can
say that it will follow close on the first
warm wave When the weather comes
TO stay, then we have a fy storm.
Sometimes il is little previous. but
not often. When the first fiy storm is
at hand a gardener can safely set out
his most delicate plants and seeds.
There will be no chilly weather after
that.
when fly storm is at hand YOU
feel the air moving as if a funnel with
bellows attachment was pointed at
you. The atmosphere grows suddenly
thick. Heaven help a newly painted
house when that happens, especially if
the house is white. The storm tattoos
it completely with wriggling black
speeks. They are young flies. Most
of them are no larger than pin-heads.
They can't get away from a coat of
fresh paint. If | had dollar for
every fly that sticks to the side of
freshly painted house exposed to one
of these storms and right in its line
would almost be ready to match my
pile against Jay Gould's. In about
two seconds they will mark house so
that one would think it could never be
cleaned"
docs fly storm worry house
keepers?"
"Well, l should say so. Many
little woman sits down and has good
cry after a fly storm. 1t seems at first
as if there was nothing left to do but
paint the house again. But, like many
things that worry people, it seems a
great sight worse than it is. The flies
don't dry in with the paint. After a
few days most of them drop off. The
rest 90 with the first good breeze or
rain, leaving the house perfectly
clean"
How do you account for fly
storms?"
''Well, flies probably come just as
bees do. They find warm places to
winter, and in the spring turn their
broods loose to the wind, which carries
them in clouds to northern alighting-
places. They say that a queen bee
lays 5000 eggs "A day. 1t looks as
though something like this must hap
pen with this kind of fly. If that is
SO few families starting together on
a southerly breeze month after the
breeding-season begins would make
quite a cloud. A fly storm always
comes from the south. | have seen
houses after storm with their sides
exposed to the south, black, and with
not speck on any other side. Any
body who is curious to know what a
fly storm is like can see for himself
almost any day just in Jnue there is
a warm breeze if he watches newly
painted, light-colored surface for a
little while about sunset. That is the
time of day the storm usually comes,
when the sun doesn't scorch the air"

Attend the Fairs.

Farmers and their families ought to
attend, when possible, both their state
and county fairs. These exhibitions are
many of them excellent educators in all
branches of agriculture. The prime OBJ
ject is to benefit the farming classes by
grouping together once every year the
choicest products of farm, garden, orchard.
dairy and breeding pens, the latest i'm
provements In mechanical contrivances,
etc, that every man and woman who is
present may know just what progress is
being made by others and the possibilities
that await all who desire to attain TO inn
proved methods and their paying results.
To make these fairs generally attractive
there should be from each farm in the
surrounding country an exhibition of the
choice products OF the season, whether
from the garden, field, dairy or house
wife's pantry and work room. Even II
no prize is taken the effect Will be good
one on both the farmer and his family. "A
spirit of rivalry will be created that Will
stimulate alike young and old to renewed
efforts toward the attainment OF better
things during the year to come. 10
farmers who anticipate purchasing new
implements, or entering on new branches
of farming, visit to some of the fairs

nomical point of view. There Is nothing
like seeing for ones self; it is much saIer
than taking things on trust.

Life Membership.

Many Lodges in this jurisdiction are
considering the wisdom of life-member-
ship. Some have already adopted the
system. Abiding to this subject, the
Grand Master of Louisiana saws:
Icontend, brethren, that the Lodges
cannot afford to carry the dead weight
of this now seriously large percentage of
non-contributors, who, Notwithstanding
their praiseworthy compliance with the
rules, literally justifying their promo
tion to the exempt rank, should by their
long experience be the better enabled 10
realize that the purposes of our order
demand periodical contributions from
all who come within its pale; therefore
would earnestly recommend that each
OF the subordinate Lodges take into Sc
rious consideration the abrogation OF
this feature from their bylaws; then by
persuasion to induce those brethren who
are life members to re-establish them
selves on the active roll, they to CON.
clude among themselves what proportion
az the burden they may be willing &c
sustain. We win grant that "meed Of

Go Slow.

/ cannot refrain from saying a few
words to you all, more especially to
those who have travelled but short dis
tance on the checkered feor of Masonry,
in relation 10 the too great prevalence
of the desire to receive great number
of degrees. Do not allow yourselves to
be dazzled by the apparent brilliance of
what are commonly known as the higher
degrees. Seek not for what too often is
called advancement, but study carefully
the ground you have passed over, and
you will ever find abundant food for re-
lection. Remember that the dentils,
volutes, and modillions, which adorn
the Corinthian columns of the edifice,
are merely temporary beauties, unless
the foundation stones have been truly
squared and carefully laid, and that the
same rule applies to your future moral
and Masonic edifce. Minnesota Com.

An Historic Spot.

l spent Saturday and Sunday at
Greeneville, says letter to the Nash
vile american, and visited the house
in which young Andrew johnson
operated as tailor, and spent half a
day or more upon its floor thinking
and writing. 1t is a plain wooden
structure AXIS feet, and is in good
state of preservation. 1t is owned and
controlled by his old servant, Dolly,
who is now about 60 years old. She
cost Andrew $500. At her death the
office will revert to the johnson estate.
1t is said that the building could have
been sold for $4,000 to museums.
Mrs. Patterson, Johnson's daughter,
has refused to consider any PROPOSE
ton of sale contemplating its removal
from Greeneville. The front has one
door and two windows: the back has
one door and one window When
used as tailor-shop it was heated by

the length of the house from the east
end. Over the front door is the sign
